Some great news about drones:

In April, Google’s parent company Alphabet got the green light from the FAA to start delivering goods via drone in Virginia. The company’s service is already underway in Australia and includes foodservice establishments.

Amazon unveiled its Prime Air delivery drone in early June, with plans to deliver packages from the Amazon platform “in the coming months.”

Also in June, Uber received permission from the FAA to test drone delivery in San Diego. Its initial test phase included Uber Eats’ partner McDonald’s, and the company plans to test the service with other restaurant partners later this year, according to TechCrunch.
